Information: Stock 1996 FZR 600 (Vance and Heines Slip On). This is my first street bike... I had put about 7 years in on dirtbikes and swore that I would never ride on the road... so much for that. I got it by responding to an ad in a local paper and contacted the guy... turned out to be a college student who really needed money for tuition... needless to say, he turned out to be a motivated seller. I used Krylon Semi Flat Black for the paint job... you can check out my home page to get the full photo montage of the painting process (and a few pics of my first oil change... note to self... get bike manual before attempting any more do-it-yourself projects) Enjoy! Feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
